Copper or brass kettles must be cleaned out weekly by
pouring boiling water over a tiny piece of soda; this
removes any sediment from the inside. Rinse and dry
thoroughly inside.
When cleaning brass knobs, knockers, taps and handles,
care must be taken .to protect the surroundings of paper,
paint or polish.
A hole corresponding to the size and shape of the brass
may be cut out of a piece of cardboard, which is then used
to cover the part to be protected.
All small nuts and screws of handles of detachable parts
must be carefully watched, as they are easily lost.

remove any vegetable stains by washing with cold water
and rubbing with coarse salt and vegetable acid (as vinegar
or lemon), wash ofE with cold water and scrub. Repeat if

FISH.
GENERAL RULES FOR CHOICE AND
PREPARATION OF FISH.
1. Choose fish in season, it is more wholesome and has a
finer flavour, and is cheaper.
2. Choose fresh fish, as it soon deteriorates and becomes
unwholesome.
3. When fresh the flesh is firm and a good colour, eyes
bright, gills red, smell fresh (one of the best tests). Plenty
of scales is a good sign.
4. Fish must be carefully and thoroughly cleaned before
cooking; the blood near the backbone must all be removed
and the yellow part near the head, it has a bitter flavour.
The black skin from the inside of cod, haddock, and other
fish can be removed by rubbing with salt.
5. It must not be left in water to soak as it destroys the
flavour and makes the fish sodden.
6. The fins and tails and scales and eyes are generally
removed; the fins of turbot, however, are considered a
delicacy, and the scales of salmon are left on.
BOILED WHITE FISH.
Wash the fish thoroughly, using a little salt to remove
any dark skin or blood, tie into a good shape, place on
a drainer. Bfeve a pan of boiling water sufiSieient to
cover, draw it to one side, add salt in the proportion of
one table-spoonful to the quart and on© table-spoonful
vinegar. Place the fish in water and allow the fish to
cook g«ntly under boiling point till ready.
60 HOUSEHOLD COOKEBT — FISH.

come away easily; and if cut, a white curdy matter will
be noted between the flakes. Drain the fish, serve on
a folded napkin, garnish with parsley and lemon.

MEAT.
BOILING.
BOILED FRESH MEATS.
Wipe the meat and cut off any superfluous fat; weigh
the joint. To a thin piece such as ribs of mutton, allow
15 minutes to the lb. and 15 minutes over; if a thick
piece like a leg of mutton or round of beef, 20 minutes
to the lb. and 20 minutes over. Pork and veal require
25 minutes to the lb. and 25 minutes over. If necessary,
tie the meat in shape. Place the meat in boiling water
sufficient to cover, bring to boiling point and skim. Let
it boil for five minutes to harden the outside, then draw to
the side of the fire and allow to simmer during the rest
of the time. Seasoning should be added, in the proportion
of 1 dessert-spoonful to the quart, when half cooked.
Boiled mutton is served with white, parsley, onion or caper
sauce; boiled rabbit with onion sauce; boiled fowl with
egg sauce. A small fowj or rabbit will be cooked in
three-quarters of an hour; large ones wiU take from IJ
to 2 hours, according to the age; a rabbit requires previous
soaking in salted water for 1 hour.
The water in which the meat has been boiled should
always be kept and used for soup.
N.B, — Carrots and turnips may be boiled with the meat.
The foregoing times of cooking refer only to joints of
4' lbs. and over. A smaller joint takes a proportionately
longer time.
BOILED SALT MEAT.
If the meat is very salt, soak overnight in cold water
and bring very slowly to boiling point in fresh cold water.

Boiled Salt Pork when ready must have the skin
removed and the top covered with bread raspings and
served with peas pudding (see page 155).
Boiled Ham is cooked in the same way. If ham is
to be eaten cold, allow it to remain in the water in which
it has been cooked until it is col&; this makes the ham
more mellow and juicy. When taken out of the water
remove the skin and cover with bread raspings, or it can
be glazed. /

Plovers, Larks, )
Quails, March to July.
Hares, September to March.
Doe Venison, October to December.
Buck Venison, June to September.
Game should be hung in a cool dry place. It is hung
for some time to make it ripe, or " high," but should never
have an unpleasant smell. Water-fowl, auch as wild duck,
teal, widgeon, etc., should not hang more than a day.
When the breast feathers come out easUy it is a sign that
the bird is ready for plucking.
For pheasants, another test is when the blood drops from
the beak. Pheasants hang longer than partridges. Both
require to be well cooked. Game, as, a rule, should be
slightly underdone.
WUd duck is always served either with an orange or lemon
salad, or with some accompaniment, having orange or lemon
as the characteristic flavour.
A salad is usually served with game. Cranberry sauce
or cranberry jelly is frequently served.
The four usual adjuncts for game are : — A good brown
gravy, bread sauce, fried crumbs, potato chips, water-cress
being used as a garnish.
Woodcock are never drawn, for the trail is considered a
delicacy by gourmets.
HOUSEHOLD C00KEB7 — GAME., 135
TO TELL WHEN BIRDS ARE YOUNG.
Grouse, partridges, snipe, quails, and ortolans, when young,
have short, round spurs.
Old grouse and partridges have yellow legs and dark bUls.
They are not good for roasting, but may be used for
salmis, etc.
Woodcock, when old, have pointed spurs, and the feet hard
and thick; when young, their spurs are blunt.
When the bUls look soft and unsightly, and the throat
muddy, it is always a sign that the birds have been killed
long.
In venison, when young, the fat is clear and bright.
If hares have sharp claws, ears damp, and the cleft in
the lip narrow, it is a sign that they are young.
TO ROAST VENISON.
Buck venison is considered the finest, and is in season
from June till the end of September. Doe venison is
in season from October to December.
A haunch of venison takes from four to five hours to
roast, according to size; doe venison takes half-an-honr
less than buck venison. Venison should be hung from
fourteen to twenty days in a dry larder, and be kept
well wiped with a dry cloth every day. The fat should
-be clear and white and the meat dark; the greater the
depth of fat, the better the meat. Before putting the
haunch down to the fire, dry it well and cover- it all over
with a buttered paper; cover this with a paste of flour
and water about three-quarters of an inch thick; lay
over this paste another sheet of buttered paper tied on
with string. Roast before a good clear fire; baste the
joint with butter and clarified fat. About fifteen minutes
before the venison is finished roasting, remove all the
papers and the paste, and baste every part of the joint
with butter; dredge it very lightly with flour, brown it
136 EOVSESOLD COOKEMY — GAME.
nicely and serve very hot with either clear gravy,
Espagnole Sauce or red currant jelly, or Chasseur Sauce
{see page 246).
ROAST PHEASANTS.
The cock bird is considered the best; if young he has
short blunt spurs, but if he is old they are long and sharp.
Pheasants are in season from 1st October till 1st February.
Pheasants should be hung until blood drops from the beak,
then pluck and draw them; truss the same as a fowl for
roasting, but leave the head on. Put a small piece of
rump steak inside the bird (this helps to keep it moist
and,iilaprove the flavour) : leave the feet on, but cut the
toes off. Tie a slice of fat bacon on the breast, or else
lard the breast; roast in front of a clear fire, thirty minutes
for a young bird and forty minutes for an old one.
Baste it with butter; just before it is finished remove the
bacon from the breast, dredge "lightly with flour, baste
with butter; this will make a nice froth. Send to table
with water-cress round and fried crumbs, and serve good
brown gravy and bread sauce.
ROAST PARTRIDGES.
These birds are in season from 1st September till 1st
February. They should be trussed in the same way as
a pheasant, and though a smaller bird, will take nearly
as long to roast, because the breast is plump. Not being
so dry a bird as the pheasant, omit the steak from the
inside. Serve on fried bread, with water-cress round,
and hand good gravy and bread sauee.
GROUSE.
Grouse are prepared and served in the same manner
as partridges, except that a little butter should be put
EOVSEEOLD COOKEBT — GAME. 137
inside them, and about 10 minutes before they are taken
from the fire, a piece of toast is placed under the bird.
Serve it on the toast. Hand gravy and bread sauce.
In season from 12th August to 10th December.
WILD DUCK, TEAL, AND WIDGEON.
These birds are in season from September to February.
Clean, siuge, and truss for roasting. Brush the birds
over with melted butter, and roast before a quick fire for
20 to 30 minutes, basting well all the time. Serve with
water-cress and lemon. Hand Bigarade Sauce (see
page 246).

VEGETABLES.
The Food Value of Fresh Vegetables — ^green and root —
is not high, but they are of importance in the diet because
they supply a most valuable source of mineral salts,
extractives and vitamins : carbohydrates in varying pro-
portions, cellulose, which forms their frame-work, and
water make up the composition.
The aims in cooking are to retain as many of the
minerals and extractives as possible, to render the carbo-
hydrates digestible and to soften the cellulose.
Seasoning of Vegetables.
Vegetables cooked by any method, other than boiling,
require little, if any, seasoning, the natural salts contained
in them being sufficient to flavour them.
BOILING.
Vegetables should be cooked preferably by any o^er
method than boiling, as by this method, the salts, which
are their chief value, are dissolved in the water and lost
when the water is drained off.
GLOBE ARTICHOKES.
Wash thoroughly. Cut ofE the stems and some of the
lower leaves, then cut off the points of all. Cook the
artichokes in very little fast-boiling water and a pinch of
sugar for 20 minutes or longer, according to size and age.
When cooked the leaves come out readily. Serve on folded
napkin with oiled butter or Hollandaise Sauce, handed
separately.

BEETROOT.
In choosing beetroot select those which are dark and
firm, with skin unbroken. Wash carefully without
nibbing, as the fibres must not be broken; if this happens
the colour comes out in boiling. Put in a pan of boiling
water and boil from 2 to 3 hours according to size and
age of the beetroot. When quite tender, remove the
skin, cut into thick slices or cubes, and arrange in a
TOgetable dish. White sauce may be poured over or the
beetroot may be tossed in melted butter and sprinkled with
chopped parsley before serving.
CHICORY (FRENCH ENDIVE).

Drain and wash them. Tie them loosely in muslin and
place them in cold water, to which add 1 table-spoonful
sugar and a little mint, if procurable. Bring to boiling
point and boil gently 40 minutes. Drain, turn out of the
cloth, add a little butter, if liked, season to taste and serve
at once.

GREEN PEAS.
Shell the peas and wash thoroughly. Put in boiling
salted water (i table-spoonful salt per quart) and add a
pinch of sugar. Boil until soft (20-30 minutes) being
careful not to allow the peas to break by overcooking or
boiling too quickly. Serve in a hot vegetable dish and
pour over a little melted butter.
A sprig of mint boiled with the peas is an improvement.
N.B. — The pea pods, if in good condition, give a good
flavour to a soup that will be strained.
POTATOES.
Choose potatoes as nearly the same size as possible, so
that they may be equally cooked. Scrub them and pare
very thinly, or cook in skins. Put potatoes into pan,
cover with boiling water and add salt — ^1 table-spoonful to
every quart of water. Boil slowly for 30 minutes, then
try with a fork and, if nearly soft, pour away the water.
Put the pan at the side of the stove and steam the potatoes
tUl dry, shaking them occasionally.
N.B. — Potatoes boiled in their skins require less salt
or none.
New Potatoes are scrubbed and ser4ped and put on in
boiling water and boiled rapidly for 20-30 minutes. A
sprig of mint may be added. When ready, drain care-
fully, toss in butter and finely chopped parsley. Serve
at once.

TURNIPS (NEW),
Wash and pare thinly. Cook till tender in boiling
salted water about 30 minutes, drain well and serve with
melted butter and chopped parsley, or white sauce
poured over.
STEAMING.
steaming has advantages over boiling, as the vegetable
cells are not ruptured to the same extent, and thus there
is less loss of valuable salts, although in the case of some
vegetables there is a distinct loss, which can be recognized
by the discolouration of the water.
The pan or steamer used must have a tight-fitting lid
and the water in the pan must boil rapidly. There must
be sufficient steam to effect cooking, therefore, when
necessary, replenish pan with boiling water.
When Steaming, alternative methods may be used : —
I. Prepare vegetable according to kind, put into steamer,
and cook till tender over a pan of boiling water.
II. Prepare vegetables, cut up if necessary, and put into
a basin or jar. Place basin in pan and pour sufQcient
boiling water into pan to come | up sides of basin. When
the vegetables are tender, serve with any juices poured
over them or added to an accompanying sauce.
N.B. — The use of high pressure steam for cooking
vegetables gives most satisfactory results. A minimum
proportion only of the goodness and flavours escapes in
Pressure Cooking and these are not lost — ^they are found
in the water that condenses from the steam. Neither is

STEWING.
stewing is a most economical method of cooking
vegetables, as all the goodness is retained. Both root
and green vegetables may be stewed — but, the colour of
green vegetables is impaired. Stewing is slow cooking
i.e., simmering — in a small amount of liquid.
Method. — Prepare the vegetable (one or a mixture) and
cut into neat pieces; lift dripping with water and pack
into pan. Heat through, then put a close-fitting lid on
pan and cook slowly at side of stove till tender. A little
stock may be added if a gravy is wanted or if afraid
contents will bum. A piece of butter may be added,
also seasoning, just before serving.
Alternative Method. — ^Prepaire as for stewing, but
put pan (or an earthenware casserole) into the oven.

artificial coating — Batter, Egg and Breadcrumbs — and fried
in deep fat. They must be drained thoroughly and
served at once.

SALADS AND DRESSINGS.
To Use Vegetables Raw. ^
Almost all vegetables may be eaten raw. They are
best made up in the form of Salads.
Hard vegetables, such as Carrot, Turnip, Beetroot, Onion
and Artichokes should be grated.
Green vegetable, such as Brussels Sprouts, Heart of
a Cabbage, Spinach, Lettuce, Celery, Cress, etc., should be
shredded or" chopped.
Tomatoes, cucumber and radishes, need not be peeled.
PLAIN SALADS.
FRENCH OR LETTUCE SALAD.
Prepare a head of lettuce by washing each leaf
separately in a stream of water, tearing off any portion
that is bruised or brown, and looking carefully for little
green insects that may be < lodged in the creases; they
are not easily seen. Then drain the lettuce on a fresh
towel or napkin, for if the leaves are very w«t the
dressing will not cling to them. Tear it to pieces with
the fingers, rejecting the large part of the stalk, put it
into a deep bowl, pour over it a Trench dressing, and
toss it with a wooden salad spoon and fork until all the
kttuce seems oiled. Serve it immediately. Mayonnaise
dressing may be used instead of the French dressing on
this salad.

Beetroot.
The potatoes and beetroot should be cooked in , salted
water purposely for the salad, and allowed to becjome just
cool. Cold potatoes left over from the last meal may
be used, but they are not so nice. When the potatoes
are cool cut them in thin slices, season with a little more
lalt and white pepper; cut the beetroots also in thin slices,
and mix the two in the proportion of one-third beetroot to
HOUSEHOLD C00KEB7 — VEGETABLES, Etc. 163
two-thirds potatoes with the dressing, or arrange them in
alternate layers in a salad bowl, with the dressing poured
over each layer as it is made.
A tastier way, which really makes a perceptible
difference in the flavour of the salad, is to mix the lemon
juice, vinegar, salt and pepper together, without the oil,
and pour it over the different layers as they are laid, and
then add the oil by itself. The acids penetrate and
season the vegetables, and the oil is left on the outside
of each piece.
N.B. — Chopped olives may be substituted for the
beetroot.

'* INGREDIENTS.
Yolks of 2 hard-boiled Eggs. Salad Oil or Cream (about
Seasoning. , 1 gill). " '
i teaspoonful Castor Sugar. 1 or 2 table-spoonfuls
i teaspoonful Mustard. Vinegar.
Place the yolks, seasoning, and sugar in a mortar, pound
well, add the vinegar gradually, stirring vigorously. Lastly,
add the cream or oil, drop by drop.
N.B. — Sour cream may be used for this dressing.
MAYONNAISE DRESSING.
INGREDIENTS.
i salt-spoonful Salt. 2 table-spoonfuls Lemon
2 salt-spoonfuls Mustard. Juice.
2 salt-spoonfuls Sugar. 1 table-spoonful Vinegar
i salt-spoonful Cayenne. (Tarragon).
Tolk of 1 Egg. 1 table-spoonful thick Cream.
1 gUl of Olive Oil.
These proportions may be multiplied vi divided to make
larger or smaller quantities. Put the first five ingredients
together in a bowl and mix them well; then add the oil,
one drop at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon or whisk. After dropping and stirring for 10
EOUSESOLD COOKEBY —VEGETABLES, Etc. 167
minutes, the mixture will become stiff and difficult to turn.
At this point stix in a little of the vinegar or lemon juice.
Then drop in more oil, and stir until it again becomes
stiff. Continue putting in oil and the acids until all are
nsed, when the result should be a thick, smooth cream,
which when taken up on the end of a spoon will keep
its shape and not " run." Lastly, stir in the cream.
Should the dressing break or appear curdled, it may
sometimes be restored to smoothness by beating with an
egg-beater, or by adding more egg and stirring for a
while without adding oil. If these expedients fail, begin
all over again, adding the curdled dressing to a new
yolk. However, a Mayonnaise dressing will not go
wrong except in the hands of a careless worker. The
only points to be observed are — to put the oil in slowly,
and to stir constantly and rapidly. The cream is a
valuable addition, giving the Mayonnaise a delicate, satis-
fying flavour.
Note. — The dressing for salads, whether simply oil and
vinegar, or a Mayonnaise, should be mixed with a wooden
spoon. As for the seasonings, the Spanish maxim which
reads as follows is a good guide : " Be a miser with
vinegar, a counsellor with salt, a spendthrift with oil,
and a madman with stirring." Let the oil be of the first
quality of genuine olive oil.

ICES.
RULES FOR FREEZING.
Ice and salt must be used in proportion — two parts ice
to one part Bay salt. Ice should be chipped finely. Have
freezer perfectly clean; can, spatula, etc., scalded. Have
can perfectly adjusted ^)n pivot and crank working smoothly
before placing in freezing mixture or mixture to be frozen.
Pack well round can with ice and salt before placing in
mixture to be frozen, being careful that no salt touches lid
or rim of can. Never fill the can more than two-thirds full
with the ice cream mixture. Never have mixture hot when
placed in can, else extravagance of ice and time.
Observe accurate proportions, especially with sugar; average
proportion, quarter pound sugar to one pint liquid. If too
sweet it will not freeze, if not sufficiently sweet it will be
hard and rocky.
Avoid as much as possible the use of tin or copper utensils.
Once the mixture is placed in the can continue turning handle
steadily till evenly frozen.
If necessary, scrape sides of can well down occasionally,
taking care to wipe lid when removing as salt would spoil
mixture. When sufficiently frozen remove spatula. Place
on paper and lid and leave aside well covered to " ripen '-'
or mellow.
N.B. — As ice melts it must be drained away and can kept
continually well packed with ice and salt.
If solid pieces of fruits are to be added to ices, they should
be added when the mixture is half frozen.
FREEZING WITHOUT ICE.
Take 2 parts of sulphate of soda, 1 part of muriate of
ammonia, 1 part of nitrate of potash. Pound separately
each ingredient in a mortar and mix with water; four ounces
of the above mixed with about one gallon of water will make
a good freezing mixture.

is added. Long boiling with sugar spoils the colour.^
EOVSEEOLD COOKEBY — BOTTLING, Etc. 315
6. To get a well set jam or jelly, pectin, acid and
sugar must be present in correct proportions.
7. Do not add the sugar until the fruit is well cooked
and broken down. After adding the sugar, dissolve com-
pletely, then boil the jam very rapidly until the setting
point is reached.
8. To test for " setting point " apply the Flake Test or
put a little on a plate — on cooling, if a skin forms, the
jam is ready. If not, continue boiling and re-test.
9. Have the jars thoroughly clean, dry and warm.
10. Allow jam to cool slightly and stir up gently before
filling into jars. This prevents fruit rising to the top
of the jars.
11. Do not allow jelly to cool before dishing. Skim
it carefully and pour into jars as quickly as possible.
12. Immediately the jars are filled, place a wax circle
on top of each.
13. When quite cool, tie down with parchment square
or jam pot cover.
14. Store in a cool, dark cupboard.
TO TEST FOR PECTIN.
The proportion of sugar to add to fruit juice depends
on the quantity of pectin present. To make the test
for pectin take 1 teaspoonfnl cold fruit extract and mix
it up with 3 teaspoonfuls methylated spirits. The pectin
in the juice is thrown out of solution by the spirit and
forms a jelly-like clot. The stiff er the clot, the greater
is the proportion of sugar allowed.
If the clot does not hold together in one lump — the
extract requires concentration by further rapid boiling, and
the test, for pectin remade.
316 KOUSEBOLD C'OOKEBT — BOTTLING, Etc.
If no clot forms there is insufBeient pectin present and
the deficiency must be made up by the addition of apple
pectin or some fruit juice known to be rich in pectin.
